Condition
Overall the condition of the relief is very good with some wear to the surface consistent with age. The side panel to the left of the 'Garner the harvest' relief has a few minor chips and the pinacle to the proper right, above the standing female figure appears to have been restored. One of the black wood panels at the top of the base is loose.
